1 night at The Shady Grove @CaveValleyGetaway!

We were going to a show at the Caverns and had plans to camp, but then stumbled across this. We're talking glamping style comfort tucked away in the trees, right next door to the venue. Walked back and forth to the show, chilled by the fire and slept comfortably in a spacious canvas tent with an air mattress but felt like we were on a legit camping trip. Wow!

Weekend Trip to The Falls at Sewanee Creek

It was nice to stay somewhere out of the ordinary. My daughter loved the trampoline tent. The waterfall was beautiful. The host was incredibly nice and the property was peaceful.

1 night at Beech Hollow Hideout

Words cannot express the gratitude I feel towards stumbling upon this listing! Beech Hollow is an amazing treasure and I can’t wait to book again!

1 night at The Shady Grove @CaveValleyGetaway!

The bell tent on Jordan's property was the perfect spot to stay for a show at the Caverns. Walking distance, and all set up for us so we could just come back and crash. The property is shady and cozy!

3 nights at Holliday Hide Away

A great place to stay when visiting Winchester! The cabin provides all of the amenities you need to stay comfortable while also giving you that "camping" feel. Highly recommend!

Weekend Trip to Beech Hollow Hideout

We loved our three days on William's land. We visited in late April from Wisconsin, looking for green forests and early spring--and this visit provided. Here's our recommendation. The land is deep in a verdant, green hollow. The small "hut" is really a kind of sanctuary. The relationship between the forest and the structure is seamless--at times, being inside feels like being outside. The small items, drawings, and tributes left behind by previous campers created the feeling of connection with everyone else whose names were in the guestbook. It is an ideal location for solitary or partnered forest stay. Hiking, meditation, yoga, outdoor cooking, hiking, cave exploring (!), transcendence of self and ego dissolution, growing branches and literally becoming a tree--William's land would be great for these activities and more. William is helpful, responsive, and kind. His own wood and stone work is beautiful. His friendly pups rule the roost--they visit periodically and enjoy a good campfire. Rocket, a very charming smallish hound, escorted me through the forest during the night--a true companion and very good boy. General advice for hip-campers: no electricity at the hut, no kitchen, and it's a steep hike up. You'll want to limit the number of trips up from your vehicle, so it's helpful to consider what you'll need in advance and packing accordingly. We recommend bringing small indulgences to turn the hut into your own little nest: incense, tea candles, fairy lights etc.

Magical indoor/outdoor sleeping space optimized for sounds of the waterfall.

Weekend Trip to The Falls at Sewanee Creek

Dreamy place. The waterfall lulled us to sleep every night. Our dwelling, The Beech Tree House, was a hand built repurposed tree house with all the comforts of home. We saw wildflowers, wildlife and Luna moths… and rumor has it there are fairies living there too!

I truly enjoyed my stay! Everything was clean and additional supplies were available (cooking utensils, lanterns, etc). The area was quiet. I really enjoyed the creek, which was a very short distance from the tent. I would stay there again.

The Falls at Sewanee Creek

11 sites · Lodging, RVs, Tents45 acres · Tracy City, TN

45 private acres on our homestead for you to roam. Seven eclectic sites to choose from ranging from primitive camping to a lovely log cabin. All except the log cabin lovingly built by the owner, loaded with creative touches. Featuring: * Two gorgeous waterfalls. Each of our stay-sites are located within about 100-150 yards of Fifty-foot tall Miller’s Falls. * A large cave at the end of a short, but rugged hike. * A fairy Village filled with Hollow Oak Tree Fairy homes. The trees glow after dark. Magical. * Three acres for group camping centered on a well-equipped, covered outdoor kitchen. * Peaceful Meditation Retreats at the Outdoor Kitchen under brain-wave enhancing satellite dishes. * Certified Hypnotherapy Disclaimer: The flow of the waterfall is subject to fluctuations in temperature, seasonal droughts, & rain fall. The most favorable seasons for waterfall flow are fall, winter & early spring. We came to this magical place to found a self-reliant, homesteading eco-community when I retired from corporate life in 2006. It's called the Village on Sewanee Creek, named for the creek 800 feet below the bluff where we are located. I traveled the world as a senior executive for Baskin-Robbins, Dunkin' Donuts, Papa Johns, Blockbuster, 7-Eleven and other retail franchises, making the world safe for Pizza, Ice Cream, Pancakes Video Rentals and American convenience. And I was ready for something more fufilling. I scouted for a place of exquisite natural beauty and I found it here. I bought way too much land just before the real estate bust and learned how to turn a nice fortune into a very small one. I faced challenges and had lots of fun. Now I want to share our experience. It's the Village 2.0 for guests. Or not. Life in the city is OK as long as you can get away frequently. I'm convinced if you love nature and the outdoors, this is the best place to celebrate it.

Running Water Creek

23 sites · Lodging, RVs, Tents120 acres · Guild, TN

Running Water Creek is a unique, fully off grid campground just 20 minutes to downtown Chattanooga. We have 80+ campsites spread out over 120 acres. Most of the roads are accessible in any small car, but some roads require 4x4 (they're marked with a sign). We have a bath house with toilets, showers, and sinks and even offer hot water! Our well and cabins are all solar powered as we are not on the electric grid. Some info about the property: -we DO NOT have water or power hookups -we have gravel roads with a 5 MPH speed limit on the property (if you drive too fast the roads will seem rough) -we are right next to a highway and train tracks so there will be some noise (some days are better than others and we have no way of predicting how many trains will/will not go by) -none of our campsites have picnic tables (please plan accordingly) -most campsites have fire rings built, but if you choose a site without one you need to build your own
